THIS IS TO CERTIFY that, for value received, and in accordance with the vesting schedule listed in Section 1, below, Richard A. Parlontieri (the “Holder”) is entitled, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to purchase from Speedemissions, Inc. (the “Company”) up to Four Hundred Fifty Thousand (450,000) fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock of the Company (the “Warrant Securities”) at the initial price of $0.75 per share but subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4 below, (the “Exercise Price”), upon payment by cashier’s check or wire transfer of the Exercise Price for such shares of the Common Stock to the Company at the Company’s offices.




1.   Vesting Schedule. The option to purchase the shares of Common Stock listed above will vest as follows:




·   150,000 immediately;

·   150,000 on January 1, 2005; and

·   150,000 on January 1, 2006.




2.   Exercisability. This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time, or from time to time, between the date hereof and 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on February 17, 2009, by presentation and surrender hereof to the Company of a notice of election to purchase duly executed and accompanied by payment by check or wire transfer of the Exercise Price.




3.   Manner of Exercise. In case of the purchase of less than all the Warrant Securities, the Company shall cancel this Warrant upon the surrender hereof and shall execute and deliver a new warrant of like tenor for the balance of the Warrant Securities. Upon the exercise of this Warrant, the issuance of certificates for securities, properties or rights underlying this Warrant shall be made forthwith (and in any event within three (3) business days thereafter) without charge to the Holder including, without limitation, any tax that may be payable in respect of the issuance thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax in respect of income or capital gain of the Holder.

If and to the extent this Warrant is exercised, in whole or in part, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Securities so purchased, upon presentation and surrender to the Company of the form of election to purchase attached hereto duly executed, and accompanied by payment of the purchase price.




4.   Adjustment in Number of Shares.




(A)   Adjustment for Reclassifications. In case at any time or from time to time after the issue date the holders of the Common Stock of the Company (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received, or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible stockholders, shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefore, other or additional stock or other securities or property (including cash) by way of stock split, spin-off, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement (exclusive of any stock dividend of its or any subsidiary’s capital stock), then and in each such case the Holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, shall be entitled to receive the amount of stock and other securities and property which such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise if on the issue date he had been the holder of record of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company called for on the face of this Warrant and had thereafter, during the period from the issue date, to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other or additional stock and other securities and property receivable by him as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period. In the event of any such adjustment, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted proportionally.




(B)   Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger. In case of any reorganization of the Company (or any other corporation the stock or other securities of which are at the time receivable on the exercise of this Warrant) after the issue date, or in case, after such date, the Company (or any such other corporation) shall consolidate with or merge into another corporation or convey all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation, then and in each such case the Holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities or property to which such Holder would be entitled had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein; in each such case, the terms of this Warrant shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation.




5.   No Requirement to Exercise. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as requiring the Holder to exercise this Warrant prior to or in connection with the effectiveness of a registration statement.

6.   No Stockholder Rights. Unless and until this Warrant is exercised, this Warrant shall not entitle the Holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company, or to any other rights whatsoever except the rights herein expressed, and, no dividends shall be payable or accrue in respect of this Warrant.




7.   Cashless Exercise. In lieu of delivering the Exercise Price in Cash, Holder, at his option, may instruct the Company to retain, in payment of the Exercise Price, a number of the shares of Common Stock (the “Payment Shares”) equal to the quotient of the aggregate Exercise Price of the Warrants then being exercised divided by the Market Price of such Payment Shares as of the date of exercise, and to deduct the number of Payment Shares from the shares of Common Stock to be delivered to such holder. For purposes of this Warrant, Market Price shall mean the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately before the exercise date. Notwithstanding the above, this Paragraph 7 shall only be applicable provided that the Company is trading on a recognized exchange on the date of exercise.




8.   Exchange. This Warrant is exchangeable upon the surrender hereof by the Holder to the Company for new warrants of like tenor representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Securities purchasable hereunder, each of such new warrants to represent the right to purchase such number of Warrant Securities as shall be designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender.




Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it and reimbursement to the company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation hereof, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new warrant of like tenor and amount, in lieu hereof.




9.   Elimination of Fractional Interests. The Company shall not be required to issue certificates representing fractions of securities upon the exercise of this Warrant, nor shall it be required to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of fractional interests. All fractional interests shall be eliminated by rounding any fraction up to the nearest whole number of securities, properties or rights receivable upon exercise of this Warrant.




10.   Reservation of Securities. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized shares of Common Stock or other securities, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, such number of shares of Common Stock or other securities, properties or rights as shall be issuable upon the exercise hereof. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon exercise of this Warrant, all shares of Common Stock and other securities issuable upon such exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and not subject to the preemptive rights of any stockholder.




11.   Notices to Holder. If at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant or its exercise, any of the following events shall occur:

Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be.




12.   Transferability. This Warrant may not be transferred or assigned by the Holder without first obtaining the prior written approval by the Company.




13.   Informational Requirements. The Company will transmit to the Holder such information, documents and reports as are generally distributed to stockholders of the Company concurrently with the distribution thereof to such stockholders.
